A Comparative Study on the Thermal Energy Storage Performance of Bio-Based and Paraffin-Based PCMs Using DSC Procedures

Thermal-Energy Storage (TES) properties of organic phase change materials have been experimentally investigated and reported in this paper. Three paraffin-based Phase Change Materials (PCMs) and one bio-based PCM are considered with melting temperatures of 24 °C, 25 °C and 26 °C. Sensible heat stora...
